Lol
And before last year, John Ross had never had a 100 yard receiving game, and he started the season with two. Again, I think his role expands and he becomes more important to this offense than ever before. He got 90 receptions and 1000 yards last year with few weapons around him and Ryan Finley starting for three games. If you don't see his potential in the slot with Burrow and more outside weapons at this point, then I won't keep trying.
Green has been taking more and more snaps out of the slot. If Green isn't signed long term (although I believe he will be), I think Boyd will get a ton of targets in the slot moving forward.
Even Fred noted: "The first 8 games of 2018 when Green was 100% healthy Boyd had 49 receptions for 620 yards and 5 tds.".
